Integration

Arythmatic + Google Workspace SSO

Last Updated: April 2026

Enable Google Workspace single sign-on for Arythmatic so learners can access training with their existing Google accounts — no separate passwords needed.

Why Connect Google Workspace SSO with Your LMS?

Organizations and educational institutions built on Google Workspace need their training platform to integrate with Google's identity infrastructure for a consistent user experience. Teachers, students, and employees who sign into Google Workspace dozens of times daily expect every application to support 'Sign in with Google' without requiring separate credentials. Schools deploying Chromebooks and Google-first environments face particular friction when training platforms require non-Google authentication, as students may not even have non-Google email accounts. Without Google Workspace SSO, IT administrators must maintain a separate user directory for the LMS, creating sync issues when employees join, leave, or change departments. Small businesses and schools with limited IT resources cannot afford the overhead of managing separate identity systems, and their employees or students resist adopting tools that add login friction to their Google-native workflow.

Key Benefits

✓One-click Google sign-in for all learners

✓No separate password management needed

✓Automatic user provisioning from Google Workspace directory

✓Secure OAuth-based authentication

✓Reduce login friction for Google-native organizations

How It Works

1Configure Google Workspace as identity provider

2Enable Google SSO in Arythmatic admin settings

3Learners click 'Sign in with Google'

4User profiles auto-populate from Google directory

Expanded Setup Guide

1Navigate to Arythmatic Admin > Integrations > SSO and select Google Workspace from the identity provider options.

2In Google Workspace Admin Console, configure Arythmatic as a SAML-based third-party application with the provided SSO URLs and certificate.

3Alternatively, configure OAuth 2.0 / OIDC with a Google Cloud Console project, creating OAuth credentials with the Arythmatic callback URL.

4Map Google Workspace directory attributes (email, name, department, organizational unit) to Arythmatic learner profile fields.

5Configure domain restrictions to specify which Google Workspace domains are allowed to authenticate with your Arythmatic academy.

6Set up auto-provisioning rules based on Google Workspace organizational units or groups to automatically create accounts for new directory members.

7Enable Google Workspace Admin SDK access if you want directory sync for auto-provisioning and deprovisioning beyond SSO authentication.

8Test sign-in flow with users from different organizational units, verify profile data populates correctly, and confirm access restrictions work as configured.
